Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2026 Toolkit

Cybersecurity Awareness Month takes planning, from content and posters to emails and enough activities to keep employees engaged throughout October.

Today, we're launching Adaptive's Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2026 Toolkit, which brings that work into one ready-to-use, four-week campaign focused on AI threats.

What's in the Toolkit

The free download includes everything you need to run this month with your team.

• 12 videos include 8 core videos and 4 bonus videos featuring Conan O'Brien.
• 48 poster files cover 16 designs in vertical, horizontal, and square formats.
• 4 newsletters give you one for each week.
• 5 email templates include a kickoff email and one per week.
• Implementation guide walks you through rollout step by step.

Each week covers a different topic.

• Week 1 (Oct 5 to 9) covers AI Basics.
• Week 2 (Oct 12 to 16) covers Deepfakes and Impersonation.
• Week 3 (Oct 19 to 23) covers Targeted AI Attacks.
• Week 4 (Oct 26 to 30) covers Shadow AI and Agents.

Why It Matters

The campaign draws on real 2026 incidents involving a deepfake job applicant, an AI agent carrying out most of an attack on its own, and sensitive files uploaded to a public AI tool. Employees learn how these attacks work and what to watch out for in their own work.

The toolkit is free, with no account, form, or purchase required.
